He's not yet Josh Hader's equal in terms of strikeouts and volume of relief innings, but Amir Garrett is sure making his case. With today's 1 1/3 perfect innings and 3 K's, Garrett has 12 K's, a 1.29 ERA and three appearances of four-plus outs in his past five games. There are very few fantasy formats out there where he can't make a noticeable impact.

Edwin Diaz on pace for 84 innings and 152 strikeouts. He's pitched on back-to-back days eight times (including three straight once). It's a heavy workload; we'll see if he can keep it going.

The Mariners pull out another one-run victory, a 1-0 win over the A's with the only run scoring on an error. Marco Gonzales tossed seven scoreless innings as he continues to look like the second-best starter on the team and Edwin Diaz struck out the side on 13 pitches for the save. That's 45 K's in 25.1 innings for Diaz as the M's climb 10 games over .500.

Kenley Jansen wasn't right in April, but he looks right now as he closes out the Dodgers' 3-0 win for his ninth straight scoreless outing. His velocity is back up, the ERA is back under 3.00 and the Dodgers can feel secure about the ninth inning.

Andrew Miller escapes a first-and-third, no-out jam to keep the Indians up 1-0. The curious play in there was an attempted safety squeeze with NL RBI leader Javier Baez at the plate and no outs, but he bunted right back to Miller and Anthony Rizzo was toast at home plate.

Anthony Rizzo breaks up Adam Plutko's no-hit bid with a leadoff double in the seventh, and with a slim 1-0 lead, the question now is: How long does he stay in the game? Andrew Miller is getting loose for the Indians.

The Nationals' 3-1 loss to the Padres means they finish their homestand with a 2-4 record. Despite a 15-6 record since April 29th (best in the NL), the Nats are still under .500 at home. They're one of three teams that have a winning record on the season, but a losing record at home. The Angels and Rockies are the others.

Including Erick Fedde's outing againt the Padres today (5.2 IP, 1 ER), Nationals starters have now gone 23 consecutive games allowing three earned runs or less. That's the longest streak since the Cubs went 23 straight in May/June of 2016.

Bryce Harper taketh away, Bryce Harper giveth. After making a fancy diving grab to end the fifth, Harper bobbled a would-be inning-ending fly ball near the right field wall in the sixth. The two-base error allowed a pair of runs to score. Harper entered today tied for last in the National League with minus-6 runs saved.

After some early season struggles in the role, Ian Happ returns to the lead off spot tonight for the Cubs. Happ has been as hot as anyone on the team, showing extraordinary patience at the plate as of late. Kyle Schwarber bats second with Bryant and Rizzo behind them.

The banged-up Mariners rally for a 3-2 win over the A's in 10 innings, with Edwin Diaz continuing his dominant season with the save (Marcus Semien missed a tying home run by a few inches). Hopefully Mitch Haniger and Jean Segura will be ready on Wednesday. They keep finding a way to win these games as they improve to 28-19 and you know Jerry Dipoto is itching to make a deal ... if he had any minor leaguers to trade, that is.

Baseball is cruel, part 2: Mitch Haniger was hit on the elbow and left the game. So the Mariners are now playing without Haniger, Dee Gordon, Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz (out since Saturday after getting hit on the elbow). You know, pretty much all their best players. Why can't Mariners fans have nice things happen to them?

Baseball is cruel, part 1: After beating the Dodgers in 12 innings on May 8, the Diamondbacks were 24-11. Now they've lost 12 of 13, are hitting .215 for the season and scored more than two runs just three times in those 13 games. They're 25-23, Paul Goldschmidt fanned three more times and they can't even blame the humidor for this one.

Juan Soto, who walked three times on 12 pitches, on if it was hard to stay patient at the dish: ""Not much, because I know the strike zone, and the umpires are better here. So I take advantage of that." How's that for 19 going on 29?

Centerfielder Michael A. Taylor's run-saving throw home in the sixth was clocked at 98.8 miles an hour. "If we need someone to pitch," said Nats skipper Davey Martinez, "it might be Michael."

As encores go, Juan Soto's wasn't too shabby. After homering in his first MLB start on Monday, the 19-year old Nats rookie reached base all four times against the Padres on Tuesday (single, three walks), including a leadoff walk to start the ninth. He came around to score on Michael A. Taylor's walkoff double. Washington wins 2-1.

The Brewers lead the majors in bullpen ERA, so the slim 1-0 lead may be all they need, especially with super reliever Josh Hader in the game and probably to go more than three outs. Lorenzo Cain just chipped in with a diving catch and double play to end the seventh. With Corey Knebel back in the closer role, Craig Counsell now has that flexibility back to use Hader in the highest-leverage situations.

Bryce Harper is back to doing Bryce Harper things. For the second night in a row, he's gone deep against the Padres. This one, a mammoth blast to dead center, gives him 15 homers on the season, tops in the NL. Harper, whose average had dipped to .224 a couple days ago, has four hits and a walk in the first two games of the San Diego series.

Welcome to the big leagues, Willy Adames! Keith Law's No. 20 prospect heading into the season, the Tampa Bay shortstop homered off Chris Sale in his second at-bat, swatting a 1-0 changeup out to left field.

Mookie Betts continues his insane first two months, blasting a three-run homer for the Red Sox to take over the MLB lead with 16. He's on pace for 54 home runs, 64 doubles and more than a run per game while hitting .367. Crazy dominant right now.

"It was pretty easy." - Nats manager Davey Martinez on the decision to start Juan Soto for a second straight day. On Monday, the 19-year old outfielder went yard in his first MLB start, becoming the first teenager to homer since Bryce Harper in 2012. Just like yesterday, the lefty-hitting Soto will face a southpaw (Padres SP Eric Lauer). In the minors this year, Soto posted a 1.360 against lefties.
